Thank you, Julia and Tom for your compliments. They mean a lot to me. I am glad you like my web site, please feel free to check it out often, I will try to improve it. Julia, I admire you for "sticking to your guns" with your work, and I am very glad that your work has finally started to take off successfully! Your things are so beautiful, I'm surprised that it is only just now happening!<br>
I have always loved crafting things with my hands, but I find that when I make something, I usually give it away or sell it for some paltry amount to my friends and family, because I get more out of the smiles on their faces and their happiness than I do out of their money. I'm afraid I could never go into buisness for myself, because I'd make a poor buisnessman! I'd go broke trying to help people, and anyway, I'm terrified of trying to make my art into "work", because I'm afraid I would burn out and it would no longer be fun for me. You know what I mean? I certainly do admire and support anyone who can make their craft into a successful buisness for themselves, though. Keep up your wonderful work! You certainly have a great clientele in the Roman reenactment community, and they and you deserve the best! <p>Lucius Aurelius Metellus, miles gregarius, Secunda Brittanica</p><i></i>
